Optimization plays a key role in environmental engineering parameters since the best system performance mainly is on optimum point or optimum range. The majority of wastewater treatment processes are multi-variable and optimization through the classical method is inflexible, unreliable and time-consuming. Thus, response surface methodology (RSM), as a very efficient design and widely used techn...

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) produced from small units scattered in rural areas of Southern Europe is a major source of pollution of surface and subsurface water. In the present work, a treatment scheme based on physical separation methods is presented. The investigation was carried out using a pilot-plant unit equipped with ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis membranes. Approxi...

The objective of this study is to valorize two waste products which, until now, caused major problems concerning their management and impacts on the environment health. This concerns sludge wastewater treatment station city Fez-Morocco olive mill wastewater, which are produced, respectively, in quantities around 51,100 t/year 514,350 m3/year, by pyrolysis for production biochar. obtained biocha...
